A report entitled “Powering Up the Future”, undertaken by Canada’s Electricity Sector Council (ESC), has revealed that Canada’s electricity is at risk from the lack of skilled staff available to fill vacancies. The report states that there is an immediate shortfall of 1300 skilled employees and that there will be 25,000 positions needing filling within the next 6 years, if Canada’s energy demands are going to be met.
Catherine Cottingham, Executive Director and CEO, Electricity Sector Council explained, “At a minimum, our jobs require a high school diploma or completion of a four-year apprenticeship, and the vast majority of the electricity industry’s positions need post-secondary education. This means that if the industry is to address these shortages in time through Canada’s learning institutions and immigration channels, we must act now.”
